She still has a bullet in her stomach — but a heroic production assistant at ABC’s “The View” says she “can’t wait to get back” to work, co-host Barbara Walters told the show’s audience yesterday.

Lourdes Guillen, 25, was injured Sunday morning in a Brooklyn bodega as she pleaded with the gunman, who had just shot her cousin, to stop the unprovoked attack. Instead, he shot her.

Walters said she had just spoken to Guillen from her bed at Bellevue Hospital — where the petite PA said she had no regrets about standing up to the thug to defend her cousin Juan Medina, 24, in the Bushwick store.

“She said, ‘I had to defend my family. I would do it again,’ ” Walters said.

“Right now, she’s in stable condition. She said that the bullet is lodged between her liver and kidney, and they’re going to keep it there and hope it . . . goes away.

“And she said she can’t wait to get back to all of us, and we can’t wait for her to be back,” Walters said.

“View” co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, noting that Guillen held Medina’s hands while she had another cousin put pressure on his wounds, added, “I truly believe she saved both of their lives.
